Christmas miracles are real and so is a relationship between humans and pets. And if you aren’t yet sure the power of love animals have in our lives, then allow us the privilege of sharing this sweet reunion story between a 14-year-old boy, Carter and his cute pet pug, Piper.

Piper was given to Carter as a very special gift for his 12th birthday because his younger toddler brother passed away due to cancer a year ago at the age of 21 months. Carter and the family were going through a rough period at the time and Piper was helping to bring healing the wounds to their grieving hearts.

Believe it or not, there are several scientific studies which indicate that owning a pet is beneficial to humans in a number of ways, including:

How Piper Went Missing

Piper all of a sudden went missing one day. Carter’s mom says that Piper was let out to go to the bathroom and then never returned.

When the sad news had reached the ears of Carter, he was devastated. But thankfully, three weeks later, Carter’s mom had received a phone call from a local animal shelter in upstate New York that informed her that Piper had been found.

Carter’s mom had rushed over to receive Piper and wanted to surprise Carter as soon as he was done with school. Piper eagerly awaited the arrival of her young master/best friend and as soon as Carter got a peek of her through his mom’s car’s window, he was completely stunned in amazement before breaking down in tears of joy.
